The Vienna Convention is a very, very slender ladder down which to retreat

The precedents seem unfavourable to Brexiteer ambitions and it isn’t even obvious that it applies to UK-EU relations at all.

Highlights, ToryDiary | By Henry Hill | 16 March 2019 at 7:00 am | 157 comments

Our survey: members split evenly over whether to deselect Cabinet rebels

They are much less divided over whether to do the same to the Brexiteer rebels against the Withdrawal Agreement: definitely not.

The 187 Tory MPs, including six Cabinet Ministers, who voted against the Prime Minister’s motion to extend Article 50

The 16 Tory MPs who broke the whip to back Powell’s cut-off amendment

Halfon and Stevenson join the Europhile ultras in a very near miss for the Government.

MPs ETC | By Henry Hill | 15 March 2019 at 6:30 am | 25 comments

The new cross-party amendment that would remove May’s control of the Brexit negotiation

Cooper/Letwin is back, supported by Labour and Tory Europhiles as well as the Liberal Democrats, the Independent Group, and Scottish and Welsh nationalists.

MPs ETC | By Henry Hill | 14 March 2019 at 1:00 pm | 126 comments

The eight amendments tabled ahead of tonight’s debate on extending Article 50

There’s a Conservative/Labour/Democratic Unionist push to rule out a second referendum and Benn leads the charge for Cooper/Letwin.

MPs ETC | By Henry Hill | 14 March 2019 at 12:30 pm | 56 comments

Henry Hill: Hunt squares off with Sturgeon over prospect of second independence referendum

Also: Tory MPs lead the charge against prosecutions of ex-servicemen who served in Ulster; Ulster Unionist leader savages DUP; and more.

The five Secretaries of State who supported the Green Amendment

As a free vote, this may give us the clearest picture of the divisions at the very top of the Party over how to approach Brexit.

MPs ETC | By Henry Hill | 14 March 2019 at 7:00 am | 9 comments

The 66 Tories who voted against ‘Malthouse Two”

Several Ministers helped to see off the Government’s best hope of avoiding a full-on crisis in the Party – and perhaps of saving Brexit too.

MPs ETC | By Henry Hill | 14 March 2019 at 6:55 am | 33 comments

The nine Conservative MPs who flouted the whip to vote for the Spelman Amendment

There aren’t any surprises here, although on a grim night the Government at least appear to have talked two of its original signatories out of backing it.

MPs ETC | By Henry Hill | 14 March 2019 at 6:50 am | 48 comments

The six amendments tabled ahead of today’s debate on No Deal

In addition to ‘Malthouse II’ and the Spelman/Dromey Amendment are several tabled by the Independent Group and nationalist parties.

MPs ETC | By Henry Hill | 13 March 2019 at 12:00 pm | 129 comments

Cox is out of line with Downing Street on the backstop

The Attorney General is asking difficult legal questions about it which Dublin, Brussels, and even many in London would rather draw a veil over.

ToryDiary | By Henry Hill | 10 March 2019 at 3:00 pm | 118 comments

Next week’s Brexit votes could yet result in the general election nobody wants

May is so weak that even her command of the payroll vote is slipping. If her Government loses control of European policy, can it really remain in office?

Highlights, ToryDiary | By Henry Hill | 9 March 2019 at 7:00 am | 424 comments

Henry Hill: Bradley faces fresh calls to resign as Williamson seeks to protect troops

Also: Ministers brace for fight with SNP over ‘Stronger Towns Fund’; Scottish Government backpedalling hard on welfare devolution; and more.
